Hmm...

syslog used:

/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`

in logrotate's postrotate scripts, whereas rsyslog uses

/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid`

now. (Note differ pid filename).

In other words, is it possible (in general) to create common logrotate 
files for all syslog-like packages?
